Every state presumably has something that’s really big and weird when compared to the other states. For instance, there is the largest statue in New York, biggest library in the District of Columbia and hugest tree in California.
We have sifted through thousands of Guinness world records to find those enormous things. The list includes physical objects, food, animals, collections, gatherings, competitions, lessons and other stuff.
In the US map above, we tried to add the most interesting (i.e. weird) biggest item for each state.

- Montana is home to the largest testicle festival in the world where actual bull testicles are served to the event visitors.
